On The Bright Side by Sarah Frankie Linder : Opening Reception

We're love you to come and join us for the launch of Photographer Sarah Frankie Linder’s New Concept Collection at Modern Rocks Gallery Brings a Fresh Take on the High-Speed Art of Live Music Photography.

Fans of live music know Sarah Frankie Linder’s work across a wide range of regional and national outlets, including Pitchfork and BrooklynVegan, but the Austin-based photographer’s new “On the Bright Side” collection shines a light on the high-speed art of live music photography. Using photos taken at music festivals and venues around Austin, TX, Linder allowed the elusiveness of a blurred, auto-focus effect to create the foundation of each image. The color of each was manipulated, while retaining selected elements of the original, resulting in a new, fresh atmosphere captured in time.

By revitalizing these archived photographs in "On the Bright Side,” Linder invites the eye to explore a unique representation of the live music experience that is vibrant, curious, and thought-provoking. The visually stunning collection features Sarah’s alternative views on bands and artists, including Flaming Lips, Depeche Mode, Savages, Smashing Pumpkins, Rush, Black Angels, Atoms for Peace and Patti Smith.
